readx; Until Xi dispersed, Zhu Youzhen did not have the opportunity to talk to Yuan Keli about North Korea. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Moreover, Yuan Keli was going to meet with the North Korean mission tomorrow, and he didn't know what was new at that time, so he had to keep silent.

Nothing was said all night. The next day, when the day was still unknown, Zhu Youzhen was awakened by the sound of a "woo" horn. Immediately there were several dull loud noises in his ears, and he thought it was thunder at first, but then he suddenly realized: it was the Franc cannon on the warship that had fired!

Shocked, Zhu Youzhen didn't even bother to put on his clothes, so he jumped out of the bedroom. But he saw Yuan Keli dancing his sword leisurely in the courtyard, and when he saw him, he smiled and said: "Gongzi You, it's early autumn now, and the weather is cool in the morning and evening, so you will catch a cold when you come out naked like this." ”

"Patrol... Didn't you hear the cannons, Lord Governor? Zhu Youzhen said in a panic, "Is there an enemy attacking from the sea?" ”

"You Gongzi doesn't have to be nervous." Yuan Keli stopped his sword and said, "The fleet of the North Korean mission anchored on Long Island last night, and I came to Dengzhou today to see the old man, and the old man naturally wanted to prepare some greeting gifts for them. ”

Only then did Zhu Youzhen suddenly realize that this was a "live-fire exercise" conducted by the sailors of the official army, which was quite a bit of a dismount.

After the sky brightened, Zhu Youzhen looked at the sea from the mountain where the government was located, and saw that the number of ships was more than yesterday, lined up neatly outside the wharf, and the snow-colored white sails and the blue sea set off each other, which had a moving charm.

In the narrow waterway enclosed by the warships connected end to end, several smaller sailing ships were slowly sailing from the open sea to the gate of the water city. At the bow of the ship, there were more than a dozen people who looked like North Korean officials, presumably North Korean envoys.

At this time, Li Zhenyan had also gotten up and shrunk timidly behind Zhu Youzhen. Seeing this, Yuan Keli smiled and said, "Today, the old man is going to meet the North Korean envoys in the main hall, and he may be busy. The two of them could sit in the back hall and listen to what the envoys had to say. ”

"This is a national matter, the villain should avoid it..."

Zhu Youzhen just said half a sentence, but Yuan Keli interrupted him and said: "Jiandou has great respect for Gongzi, and the letter says that Gongzi will be a pillar of the country in the future." For the future, you should also participate in this kind of occasion and see for a long time. Besides, the two of them didn't show up in the back hall, so they avoided it, so they didn't have to be nervous. ”

Saying that, he went back to the inner house to change into his official uniform, and said majestically: "Pass the order, no one from North Korea is allowed to enter the water gate!" ”

Zhu Youzhen and Li Zhenyan couldn't help but look at each other, and said in their hearts that they were obviously preparing to meet each other, and they were not allowed to come in, what was the reason.

But they didn't dare to ask, so they had to follow Yuan Keli into the main hall of the mansion. The hall was heavily guarded, the officials stood solemnly, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

Yuan Keli first let Zhu Youzhen and the others to the back hall and let them sit at will, and then ascended to the throne and ordered: "Send the navy to board the North Korean ship and check the weapons on board." If it does not match the report, it will be confiscated; Those who match them are to be sealed in the ship and are not allowed to be brought ashore. ”

Li Zhenyan heard it clearly in the back hall, and couldn't help but turn pale. Although she has peerless martial arts, she is like a weak and helpless lamb at this moment, looking at Zhu Youzhen with blank eyes and saying, "Your Highness, I'm afraid!" ”

Zhu Youzhen wanted to comfort her a few words, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to stretch out his hands and hold her hands in the palm of his hand. I felt that my tentacles were cold, and I was full of nervous cold sweat, and I couldn't help but say lovingly: "Zhenyan doesn't have to worry too much, Lord Yuan has no ill will towards North Korea, and it depends on how the envoy negotiates." ”

After a while, I heard a slightly old but neutral voice suddenly sounded: "Your Excellency Governor Qiqi, the ships of the Koreans have been checked, and there is nothing forbidden. ”

"There's General Lao Qi." Yuan Keli said solemnly, "You can let them in!" ”

General Qi? Zhu Youzhen was taken aback, and hurriedly stretched his neck to look at the main hall secretly. But there was a person standing in front of the hall, about fifty years old, eight feet tall, dressed all over, with a strong posture and awe-inspiring righteousness. Between the eyebrows and eyes, there are vague similarities with Qi Meifeng.

Zhu Youzhen immediately beat a drum in his heart, and secretly said that this must be his future father-in-law, Lao Taishan, the current head of the Qi family's army, and Qi Xianzong, the commander of Denglai. As soon as you look at his majestic bearing, you know that he is not a very good talker. Zhu Youzhen's head couldn't help but have a layer of fine beads of sweat, he was very sure about proposing, but at this time, he suddenly had no bottom in his heart.

After a long time, there was the sound of footsteps outside the main hall, and then someone shouted loudly: "Li Minchen, the special envoy of the foreign Korean state, knock on the Lord Yuan Fuyuan of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty!" ”

Yuan Keli didn't say a word, and after the visitor finished bowing in the courtyard, he entered the main hall and bowed again. Zhu Youzhen peeked and saw that this person was wearing a bright red official uniform, which was very close to the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty. Only the two hat wings are both wide and short, which is completely different from the black gauze hat worn by Yuan Keli and others.

"Your name is Li Minchen?" Yuan Keli opened his mouth coldly.

"Exactly." The man hurriedly replied in fluent Chinese, "Now that the letter of state of the king of our country is presented, please take a look at it." ”

As he spoke, he took a letter sealed with fire paint from the hand of the person and respectfully presented it to Yuan Keli.

Zhu Youzhen also thought that Li Minchen would be like those brain-dead Korean dramas, opening his mouth and closing his mouth "Smecta", at least with a translator. I didn't expect that people's words were correct and round, better than the official words of some Chinese. If he hadn't said that he was a North Korean envoy, Zhu Youzhen would have thought that this was a Ming Dynasty official.

Yuan Keli took the national letter, but he didn't even look at it, he threw it on the public case, and looked at Li Minchen with a sharp gaze and said: "This Fu Yuan asks you, is the old king Guanghaijun Li Hui still alive?" ”

"Lord Qiqi Fuyuan, of course it's still there." Li Minchen hurriedly bowed and replied.

"Does Gwanghae-kun have any children?"

"There is a son named Li Zhen."

"Where's Li Zhen?"

"With Gwanghae-kun on Ganghwa Island."

After about a cup of tea, Yuan Keli didn't speak again, just stared at Li Minchen intently. Suddenly, he raised his voice and asked in a fierce voice, "I heard that Guanghaijun has been killed on March 13 this year, but is there such a thing?" ”

Li Minchen was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a thud, and kowtowed again and again: "Absolutely unreasonable, absolutely unreasonable!" Gwanghae-kun was only confined to Ganghwa Island, and if the adults did not believe it, they could send someone to visit the island with their ministers. If there is half a lie, there is no place for the foreign minister to die! ”

"That's it!" Yuan Keli snorted coldly and said, "Even if you don't kill Guanghaijun, there will always be a move to use troops, right?" Could it be that Gwanghae-kun abdicated on his own accord? ”

Li Minchen was already in a hot sweat at this time, and Shang Zi quibbled: "Guanghai Jun is immoral, and his various forms have been recorded in detail in the national letter, and Lord Fuyuan will know it at a glance..."

"Don't change the subject!" Yuan Ke immediately snorted and said, "This Fu Yuan asked you if you wanted to use troops, and answered truthfully!" ”

Li Minchen opened his mouth and stammered, how dare he answer truthfully. Because the truth of the matter is that Ayayang Jun Li Liang launched a mutiny, this is an ironclad fact, 100% usurpation and self-reliance, no matter how you describe it, the more you describe it, the darker it becomes.

Seeing that the meeting was at an impasse, Yuan Keli was about to blast Li Minchen out, and Zhu Youzhen felt that if he didn't help to speak, the North Korean envoy's trip would be in vain, and Li Zhenyan's hope that the Ming Dynasty would continue to be friendly with the DPRK would be in vain.

In a hurry, he had to go straight into the main hall through the back door, came to Yuan Keli and whispered: "My lord, take a step to speak!" ”
